The Domiciliary Eyecare Committee (DEC) is committed to promoting the highest standards of patient care for those unable to attend a high street practice unaccompanied due to a mental or physical disability or illness.

The DEC is active in lobbying for equal access to eyecare, believing that high quality eyecare should be available to all patients, regardless of whether the service is delivered in the patient's home or in the high street. In addition to the optical bodies (ABDO, the AOP, and FODO and the College of Optometrists as observers) its members include representatives from domiciliary service providers, Optometry Scotland, Optometry Wales and Optometry Northern Ireland.
